Quick and easy to make these crunchy pecans are delicious served as nibbles for drinks, sprinkled over cakes or dessert. They also make great little gifts for friends and family.
Preheat the oven to 180℃ (170℃ fan)/350°F/gas mark 4. Place the pecans in a bowl and sprinkle with the balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with the sugar and toss together until the pecans are well coated in the sugar.
Turn the pecans out onto a baking sheet lined with baking parchment and spread out into an even single layer. Bake for 15 minutes stirring the nuts every 5 minutes until golden and the sugar begins to caramelise on the nuts.
Allow to cool before serving. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
